New Gel Regrows Dental Enamel–Which Humans Cannot Do–and Could Revolutionize Tooth Care
By Andy Corbley Nov 13, 2025"Chemists in England have created a gel that can repair and regenerate tooth enamel, opening up new possibilities for effective and long-lasting dental treatment.
The gel can be rapidly applied to teeth in the same way dentists currently apply standard fluoride treatments. However, this new protein-based gel is fluoride-free and works by mimicking key features of the natural proteins that guide the growth of dental enamel in infancy.
The findings have been published today in Nature Communications.
Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with an international team of researchers, sought a method of treatment for addressing this major cause of tooth decay which is estimated to be associated with a full 50% of all tooth problems in the world.
These 50% of problems don’t merely lead to the obvious infections like dental caries, cavities, and tooth loss, but are also heavily associated with conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Arterial plaques—the substances that can impede blood flow and cause stroke and heart attacks, have been found to contain bacterial biofilms in the periodontal environment"
